My retailers who carry these should have them up soon at this price. |

Location: Minnesota | i dont use suckers but you do get what you pay for i have 1 tackle industries rod and and 14 thorn bros rods i tried a cheap rod once got me on the price never will it happen again there are many good rods out there the only reason i have so many thorn bros rods is there right in my back yard i needed 2 more trolling rods for a trip i was taking all they had was 2 piece rods so they built me 2 rods in 8 days so i would have them for my trip all i can say they did a great job on my rods and had them done when they said they would be look around there are alot of good rods out there for the most part you get what you pay for |

Location: Wakefield, MI | What is special about sucker rods? I usually just hang them off of one of my rods that isn't being used, curious about what is different. Would be nice to have all of my other rods available instead of one hanging a sucker all day. |

Location: Neenah, WI | The Main difference is the Trolling and Live Bait rods are a graphite / Fiberglass composite Blended Blank. Pure graphite is sensitive and strong however they are more brittle than a blended rod, Pure graphite in cold weather, you can snap a graphite rod into a lot of pieces. Like everything in the world there is a right tool for the job. Blended Graphite/glass rods are the answer in cold weather trolling and live bait rigging.

Location: Wakefield, MI | That makes sense, I figured something something similar for a trolling rod but never considered suckers. The temperature deal makes sense a we fish until freeze-up (actually broke ice a few times to get to open water).
I'll have to look into one or two sucker rods, have a few spare C3'S lying around that could get some use. |
